    ITINERARY


    08.30 You would pick up from your hotel and start to visit the following sites listed below.

    List of the places you will visit:

    Hagia Stephen Church: Hagia Stephen Church, known as the Iron Church or Bulgarian Church, is located in Balat. Located on the shores of the Golden Horn, St. Stephen Church is affiliated with the Bulgarian Exarchate. It was built on October 25, 1859, in the name of Istefanaki Bey, a Bulgarian statesman who served in the Ottoman Empire. Hagia Stephen Church was opened to visitors in 2018 after a seven-year restoration

    St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church: St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church is located on Istiklal Street in Taksim. Built-in 1912 in the Italian neo-gothic style, the church is also the largest church in Istanbul and the church belonging to the most populous Catholic section. It was built by priests in 1230 in the name of their founder, St. Francis of Assisi. Having survived three fires, St. Antony of Padua Catholic Church was moved to Beyoğlu after the last fire in 1696.

    Galata Tower Museum Istanbul: The Galata Tower is one of the most beautiful stops in Istanbul's travel programs. It is considered one of the magnificent architectural structures that make Istanbul what it is. Many legends have been told about the Galata Tower throughout history. Many sayings love with the Maiden's Tower determines the future of couples. Even songs and poems were written about the beauty of the Galata Tower. This subterranean cistern was called Basilica because it was located under a large public square, the Stoa Basilica, on the First Hill of Constantinople. Before its construction, a great basilica stood on the spot. It was built during the Early Roman Age between the 3rd and 4th centuries as a commercial, legal, and artistic center. The basilica was reconstructed by Illus after a fire in 476. Ancient texts indicated that the basilica cistern contained gardens surrounded by a colonnade that faced the Hagia Sophia. According to ancient historians, Emperor Constantine built a structure that was later reconstructed and enlarged by Emperor Justinian after the Nika riots of 532, which devastated the city.

    St. George Fener Greek Patriarchate: It is an important building for Orthodox Christianity. Located in Fatih, the central district of old Istanbul, this building was built in 1836. It contains sacred items and mosaics from the Byzantine period. The church was exposed to a fire and destroyed in 1941. Restoration work started in 1989 and it was reopened for worship in 1991.

    Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian Church: The church, built in 1431, is the oldest Armenian church in Istanbul. As a result of the good relations between Armenians and Genoese living in Istanbul before the conquest of Istanbul, the Genoese sold this place, which was sacred to them, to the Armenians. It was destroyed by a fire on April 7, 1660, but was repaired. This church, which completely burned down again on February 7, 1731, was built by Sarkis Kalfa from Kayseri within 3 months with the order he received from Mahmud I and was opened on March 10, 1733. Its difference from other Armenian churches is that its interior is arched and covered with lead.
